Six Sentence Story -the Wakefield Doctrine- [an Order of Lilith Six]

February 19, 2026 By clarkscottroger 2 Comments

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop.

Hosted by Denise, constrained by a sentence limit (high and low) of six, there are worse ways to spend the remaining time you have on earth.

Previously…

Prompt word:

GROUND

The rolling hills surrounding Eibigen Abbey fled down towards the Rhine River as if to escape the scrutiny of the Mother Superior who stood, tethered to her office by the old-fashioned telephone receiver at her ear. An expanse of glass afforded her the freedom to marvel at the wonders of Nature, from the expression on her face she was in no mood to appreciate the Creator’s handiwork.

“By all the Saints above, I’m telling you Sister Edeline, she simply disappeared…”

“You don’t know where she is Mister Lymphocytus?”

“As God is my witness, it wasn’t my fault, the lass is all heart and no head, she…

“Did I ask your opinion of Sister Aclima?”

“No, but…”

“Your speciality and purported expertise is guiding those emissaries we send on missions in lands unfamiliar to them; you are being paid a king’s ransom to provide that guidance, not make excuses.”

“She’s gone to ground is all I’m saying; if you want, I’ll return your fee, minus my expenses…

“You would be well-advised to read your contract with the Order, particularly that section describing the penalties for failure and not waste my time because a young woman, one-tenth of your age and from Indiana, is too much for you to manage.”

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop.

Hosted by Denise, constrained by a sentence limit (high and low) of six, there are worse ways to spend the remaining time you have on earth.

Previously…

Prompt word:

GROUND

“Ethan Ethan van Decken…you’ve been in an accident, can you hear me?”

Light and sound, wearing each other’s clothes, ran around the car-shaped wreckage in confused hysteria… somewhere nearby, blue suns went supernova in a rhythmic sequence that pressed through closed eyelids.

“Try not to move, son, you’ve been in an accident… was there anyone else in the car with you, Ethan …stay with us, help is on the way.”

“Jesus Christ, with all the kids dying for Nixon in Southeast Asia, you’d think being safe in college would convince them to be more careful; hey, Sarge, there’s a purse in the car, better check the woods… goddamn, another one over here.”

With the world turned on it’s side, the young man lay on impossibly soft asphalt and tried to focus, to recognize anything that went with driving a girl to a nightclub after mid-term finals; all that remained of his car and a girl was bathed in red by road flares stuck in the ground like demonic votive candles.

“Ethan, babe, wake-up, you were having a nightmare,”

Rosetta’s touch, along with the sheer intensity of her concern, banished any lingering hypnagogic graffiti of his nightmare leaving only a fragmented memory of the need to escape into time to save someone named Sherie.

Wednesday Warm-up -the Wakefield Doctrine-

February 18, 2026 By clarkscottroger 6 Comments

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Seeing how today is Wednesday, aka ‘Have Something To Submit To The Six Sentence Story bloghop Day’ we thought we’d write a little ‘Soul of Wit’ post. (And apparently it’s how many quotes can you use day.)

In any event, seeing how we all know the dominant demographic here is (are?) clarks. [Or scotts or rogers with significant secondary clarklike aspects]

If we may:

clarks make the easy things hard and the hard things easy

If you want something done quickly, with little concern about precision or level of finish…call a scott

If you want something done right, with no particular deadline and don’t mind an endless demand of appreciation…call a roger

that was… simple? easy??

Bonus Doctrine Insight:

Quick and Easy Way to Identify Another’s predominant worldview; ask them: ‘How much is Two plus Two?’

Don’t Forget to visit the Six Sentence Story bloghop starting tonight!

Tutor Tuesday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

February 17, 2026 By clarkscottroger 4 Comments

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

As abundantly clear by this post’s primary image, today is Tutor Tuesday. Implicit in this somewhat aged cultural reference is an age requirement which you are encouraged to ignore. That said, for max amusement, your birthday must not only be from the 19oos, it must be the mid-1900s for you to attend.

As with most of our better Doctrine Posts* today’s is prompted by Friend of the Doctrine, Misky who responded to Monday’s Post with the Comment:

I’m not afraid of being incorrect. Wrong is a different kettle of fish. My answer; final answer is the girl is a Clark. That was the question, right? Hmmm … maybe I should re-read this. Nah.

Shall we begin?

…oh yeah, did we mention this is an Open Book, and…and I believe we also said in our Reply something about Self-Grading. oh yeah… any effort to determine a stranger’s predominant worldview is invaluable practice…

We’re totally sincere in the saying that, despite how aggravating it may have been to certain among us, back in school daze to see the Exam Notation: SHOW YOUR WORK. We totally embrace that directive. It is in hearing the ‘Why’ a person feels the subject is a clark or a scott or a roger not only enhances our understanding but it’s just pretty much the fun of this exercise.

New Reader! In case there is a roger among you who snuck into this AP class; one word: ‘No, if everyone’s opinion of the predominant worldview is equal, that does not mean that any/every Answer is possessed of equal validity.’

The cool thing about the Wakefield Doctrine and it’s use is that it is entirely self-correcting. If you ‘get it wrong’ then the benefits inherent in the application of it’s principles (not the least of which is: to know more about the other person than they know about themselves) simply are not there to enjoy. Usually such a person decides this stupid thing doesn’t work anyway and they wander off. Not a problem. For the rest of us? If we hear a scott or a roger cite evidence for the determination of a person’s predominant worldview, (in this case the photo yesterday) it is to our benefit. After all, we’re a clark and they are not. quid pro quo non serviam. I learn about their personal reality. Win Win, binyons!

Wait!! Wait!! Before we begin what we’re sure to be a spirited discussion in the Comments section we have a visitor! An alumnae, if you will from the distant Before Time. We’d be the entirely gracious and organized Narrator if we offered her background, maybe offer a link or two to posts in the Archives, but given her predominant worldview¹, kinda coals to Newcastle. Jennifer? Jennifer Katherine Wilson? (the blogger formerly known as Miz AKH)

* a post written to explore, explain, extrapolate and otherwise enjoy the core principles of the Wakefield Doctrine**

** which can be succinct’d down to: clarks think, scotts act and rogers feel

‘though we’d expect ever one here to embrace the preferred politeness of ‘One simply does not state another’s predominant worldview, at least not unless they have already self-identified or it is, otherwise, general and/or common knowledge.’

Monday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

February 16, 2026 By clarkscottroger 6 Comments

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

So, what with the wild social adventures of the weekend (well, technically, it was Friday… (and early evening…. (and we were to meet (for the surprise party at 5:00 pm… (yeah, that is kinda the afternoon… ( but the late afternoon… (and the surprise(d) guest didn’t arrive until, like 6:oo (and being cloudy it was semi-dark [go ahead and provide your own closed parenthesiseseses…]

Permit us to 1st coffee this ~~intonemen~~t installment* with a RePrint

it wasn’t my intention to eavesdrop, but there a guy sat, two stools away

May 26, 2010

I was meaning to tell you about the success of the Post that came out Monday but we got side tracked by that “24” thing. (btw, talking with DownSpring#1 right after hitting ‘Publish’, yesterday morning. She say the night before was the Season Finale of that very show. Ain’t synchronicity grand?)

Anyway, we are declaring the Monday Post (…”hey, did anyone else just hear something”… ) a complete success, as the only Readers that wrote a Comment in response to it were scotts. Since the goal was to write for (one of the three specifically) and scotts were my target, then its…”A is for apple, binyons”.

But alas,that is not the topic today. Today the topic is:…”you really want to know how seriously we take this Wakefield Doctrine?”
The photo above on this page…came across it by random, probably a part of an ad for some genealogical service that is so pervasive on the ‘net. Anyway, saw the picture, about to click forward, but then thought came into my brain, “alright, what (or more appropriately, who ) do have here in the family portrait?”
The answer: 3 scotts, 2 rogers and 1 clark.
Even though this Post is supposed to be about rogers, stop at this point, take a minute, look at the photo and pick out the clark. (Hint: no, not him, close, nice guess, but nothim…keep tryin).
(At this point I would ask you to write a Comment, but I don’t think you will. Afraid of being wrong, I hear. I understand…even though you are telling yourself that this blog is funny and maybe this particular Post is all really silly… you are still afraid of looking stupid. I do understand, I realize that you are not afraid of me responding to your Comment with something like: ” Here is a stupid answer”, that is not what you are afraid of. What you know would be awful would be a follow-up Comment such as: “…now here is a good effort…unfortunately missed by this much”. Now that would hurt. So I do not expect any Comment, it is not that important, seeing how I do sort of know what you are thinking… (no, I really do know…) (hey, sorry, don’t care if you believe me or not, just the way it is), go ahead…don’t let the cursor hit you in the ass on your way out! lol)

So rogers are all over this picture (above). Rogers love the family units, or more precisely, they love the idea of tradition and history. The photo shows history and implies history, and the people are the herd. This will be the Wakefield Doctrine lesson for the day. The question is not why the herd, that would be like asking why does the night follow the day, answer: hey, it just does.
The useful question is: if the herd is the most important thing (to a roger) then how does one make a roger want to do things. As we saw in Monday’s Post, there is a way to speak to scotts that will not only be heard by the scott, but will be irresistible. (Damn, not being clear, sorry).
Let’s try this: you have all heard about the supersonic whistles that only dogs can hear, right? Well not only can they hear them when you cannot, but they (the dogs) cannot resist them. Blow on the sucker and Fido is all, “OK OK what? WHat do you Want?! Are we gonna do something? HUH?! HUH? (picture Warner Brothers/Jack Russell-type…hell with that, picture the dog below bouncing 3 feet in the air over and over in front of you..)

…I know…I know and I apologise! How the heck did we get back to those scotts? This was to be a Doctrine lesson on the herd and rogers, instead we are looking at photos of dogs. Pretty damn cute though, no? And sincere. That is what dogs do so well, they are sincere and direct, not an ounce of artifice in their bodies. Now at this point, cat people might say that dogs are kinda simpletons, non-ambitious, not nearly as cool as cats are…well, write a Comment and I might take your opinion into consideration. Back to the scotts, people are drawn to them for the same qualities, the directness and un-complicatedness. Unlike rogers.

I think I have driven around in supermarket cart type circles quite long enough for one Post. If you are a new Reader, check some of the featured Posts or even the Archived Posts (In the “Read ’em and Sleep” pulldown, over to the right there, under the map). That’s the whole magilla, Wakefield Doctrine-wise.

* without doubt funnier and more skilled writers have expressed the total fuckin, civilization-ending cultural Trojan Horse of ‘autocorrect’ by now, but serially, how could even a machine believe we meant to apologize with a song!?!?
